Sad news... Maybe Bob Harris will be doing a tribute on his shows this weekend on Radio 2..
Just flicked over to Mean Country a minute ago, just in time to hear a couple of Johnny Cash songs played as a tribute, one of which was "A Boy Named Sue"... rather interestingly the bit where he's supposed to say "Son of a bitch" was bleeped out... Do they consider that offensive to some people, or was it bleeped out on the CD? It sounded as though Mean Country had fallen off air! Article here and Obituary here |

My mum has the CD, she's a big fan. The part where he says "Son of a bitch" is bleeped out on the CD, which was produced in the 70's, so thats probably why.
Although I didn't really like the sort of music he made, I did know how big a name he was, and the respect he deserved because of it. May he rest in peace. Johnny Cash and John Ritter in the same week. A sad week for the entertainment industry. Padzter (The smiling smilie I usually use didn't seem proper).

His last four "American" albums were totally wonderful - the last one featuring a particularly stunning version of Desperado
RIP Johnny

It's very sad news, and hope that some of the terrestrial channels do some tribute shows

Not trying to disrespectful or controversial.
But I never liked his music, not my thing really, but I did enjoy his last song.......the one that has his wife in the video, But as already stated he was a legend, and when you see bands or singers of today, are these really going to get to legendary status like the likes of Johnny Cash.

I think RR was refering to the singers today becoming legendary.
